“Plus, I am fully paying for my son’s college, so no loans to worry about,” she added.
“Other than that, they have to figure it out themselves.”
As for the wedding, she told her son not to expect her to foot the bill. Apparently, he and Sara want a pretty extravagant ceremony that she just cannot afford. And with the cost of living rising, she wants to save as much money as she can for her youngest child– who is still in eighth grade.
Despite all of her valid concerns, though, her son just got really upset with her and left after she laid her beliefs out on the table.
Afterward, she also confided in a few coworkers about the situation. And to her surprise, some of them thought she was actually in the wrong.
So now, she has been left wondering whether telling her son he was delusional to think she would approve of his marriage was a jerky thing to do or not.
If her son is old enough to get married, is he old enough to support himself? Do you think she has valid reasons not to approve of their engagement? Did she have a right to be completely honest with her son? If you had been in her shoes, would you have done the same?
